Q) A 50-year-old man presents to an emergency clinic complaining of the onset, over the past day, of bilateral tremor in his hands, diaphoresis, anxiety, headache, and the sensation that "my skin is crawling". He denies other symptoms. His medical history is significant only for hypertension, for which he takes hydrochlorothiazide. He states that he sees a psychiatrist for bipolar disorder and anxiety, and that he takes three medications prescribed by the psychiatrist, the names of which he can not remember. He ran out of his medications three days ago, and he has an appointment for his primary care physician and his psychiatrist tomorrow. His temperature is 37 C (98.6 F), blood pressure is 150/100 mm Hg, pulse is 115/min, and respirations are 20/min. Physical examination is notable for diaphoresis and tremulousness. Administration of which of the following is the most appropriate initial step in this patient's care?
A. Clonidine
B. Haloperidol
C. Hydrochlorothiazide
D. Lorazepam
E. Prochlorperazine
Kindly substantiate your answers.
